MSLV4700 Labour Law in Change Processes Course description

The course covers labour law problematisation with particular relevance to reorganisation and change processes. Employers' need for flexibility and change is seen in light of employees' need for protection and predictability. Changes measures can vary in nature and scope. The course takes the legal framework that an employment contract entails as its point of departure, and problematises change needs relating to the individual employee, reorganisation related to parts of or the whole enterprise, rationalisation and workforce reductions, and changes that lead to transfer of duties or activities to another employer. In addition to relevant legislation and collective agreements, emphasis is also placed on relevant rulings. The course will focus on the public sector.

The course is taught in Norwegian.
